MATERIAL CITY - ART MEETS ARCHAEOLOGY AT BRISTOL'S BROADMEAD SHOPPING CENTRE
Three artists, three archaeologists, 24 hours and one shopping centre … part of the University of the West of England’s (UWE) Situations programme, Material City; a collaboration with the University of Bristol’s (UoB) Department of Archaeology and Anthropology.

The aim of the project is to produce conversations (real and metaphorical) between artists and archaeologists on ways of encountering urban places.

The brief: to encounter and document the Broadmead district of central Bristol between 5pm Friday March 30 and 5pm Saturday March 31. A day (and night) in the life of a city.


Unfortunately, it doesn't include any observations on what they discovered. Much, anyway.
